Assam: National Conference of Textile Ministers in Guwahati to shape $350 Billion Industry Plan


Guwahati : A national conference of textile ministers will be held in Guwahati from January 8 to 9 on the theme "India's Textiles: Weaving Growth, Heritage and Innovation," an official said on Sunday.


The two-day conference is being organized by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, in collaboration with the Government of Assam.


The meeting aims to bring together senior officials from the Centre and states, along with central and state textile ministers, to discuss a coordinated national strategy to establish India as a global textile manufacturing hub.

The discussions are in line with the national vision of creating a $350 billion textile industry and achieving $100 billion in textile exports by 2030, the official said.

The inaugural session will be attended by Union Textile Minister Giriraj Singh, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, and Union Minister of State for Textiles Pabitra Margherita, among others.


The conference will feature several sessions focusing on infrastructure and investment, export expansion, competitiveness, raw materials and fibers, and emerging areas such as technical textiles, research, and development. Special emphasis will also be placed on reviving traditional textiles, including handlooms and handicrafts, for modern domestic and global markets.


Delegates are expected to share best practices, challenges, and policy suggestions aimed at strengthening the textile value chain across regions and districts.


As part of the conference, a conclave titled "Strengthening and Empowering the Textile Sector of India's North-Eastern Region" will be held on the first day.


The conclave will focus on silk, handloom, and bamboo-based textiles, promoting women-led enterprises, and branding "Textiles from the North-East," aiming to highlight the region's unique textile strengths and integrate them into national and global value chains.
